Once in a time when struggles existed,
when trials were many, and evil persisted,
there came a great fight, in the dark of the night

and in destiny's eyes
the hero did rise!

Surrounded with hope, and cloaked with the Spirit
he stood in the darkness and, lo, did not fear it;
With demons beguiling, and Lucifer smiling,

against his demise
the hero did rise!

With loss in his heart, and blows to his soul
the vicious assault was beyond his control.
Yet, strong did he stand, upheld by God's hand

and despite their vain tries
the hero did rise!

The king of all demons, in undaunted measures,
lusted to seal him as unto his pleasures.
But he was resisting, and also persisting

in fighting the lies;
as the hero did rise!

Too strong for the devil, he overcame death
and screamed through the darkness with fiery breath:
'You can not defeat me! Nor hope to retreat me!

Your eminence dies! '
....The hero did rise!
